Yes, the n refers to the number of electrons that are transferred during the redox reaction.

Functional groups get higher priority when naming as compared to alkene and alkyne bonds.

Nikhita_Jaaswal_2H

No in the examples all given, anti is the most stable conformation

The order of the steps does not affect the rate law, only whether the step is fast/slow.

Nikhita_Jaaswal_2H

A reaction that has a negtative value of ΔG0 and a large gibbs free energy of activation (ΔG‡) are kinetically controlled because they take a long time to occur and are kinetically stable.

Naming alkenes and alkynes was included in the coursereader so it can possibly be asked on the final

For halogenic non-hydrocarbon substituents, you take the name of the substituent (ex. fluorine) and drop the -ine ending and add an -o ending instead. For example fluorine becomes fluoro, iodine becomes iodo, etc. For the numbering, the substituents are given priority and their positioning number is...

An alkane is an organic (noncyclic) hydrocarbon with only single C-C bonds. An Alkene is a noncylclic hydrocarbon that has at least 1 C=C (carbon-carbon double bond).

The formula sheet that you are given is the one on the back of the periodic table

Nikhita_Jaaswal_2H

This value is calculated and is constant for all the C-H bonds

Thanks!

These are not covered in the course reader, therefore they will not be included in the final

You have to place "iso" in front for the propyl because 4 signifies where the propyl is connected to the decane, not the branching on the propyl substituent itself.

When naming cycloalkanes using common names, when do you use neo/iso vs sec/tert in naming substituents attached to cycloalkanes? Is there a difference or does it not matter?

Hi,

Does anyone know whether 14CL can be taken at the same time as 14C or whether it is reccommended to be taken after the completion of 14C?

The best thing about learning about equilibrium... is that nothing changes!

Nikhita_Jaaswal_2H

Hi,

I was just wondering how the standard cell potential is affected at equilibrium. Which cell potential equation can you use to calculate K?

In the textbook it highlights that the third law of thermodynamics states that at an absolute temperature of T=0, the entropy of the system approaches 0 because there is no positional or thermal disorder. How does the third law of thermodynamics hold true if there is still entropy in the system in t...

How can the enthalpy of combustion be used to calculate the enthalpy of formation of reactants?

Nikhita_Jaaswal_2H

Hil,

One of the questions I was working on refers to an adiabatic wall in the calculation of internal energy. Does anyone know what this means?

Joke: “What is the difference between thermodynamics and a stick?

Answer: “A stick has two ends and no beginning. Thermodynamics has two ‘beginnings’ (the first and second law) and no end.”

Nikhita_Jaaswal_2H

You include P in the reaction quotient when the value of the reactants and products are gases and are given to you in bars. If they are given to you in molar concentrations then you don't use P

What does it mean when an acid is deprotonated, or when a base is deprotonated? How is this different from ionization/dissocation?

Hi,

I was wondering if someone could please explain to me the difference between a Lewis Acid/Base as compared to a Bronsted Acid/Base?

Why don't atoms of Period 3 elements and later form multiple bonds as compared to elements such as Carbon in Period 2 that are able to form double bonds?

Can someone please explain the difference between axial lone pairs and equatorial lone pairs to me? How can you tell what type of lone pair a given molecule has?

Hi,

I'm a little confused on what the Aufbau Principle and Hund's rule are referring to. Can someone please explain these concepts to me?

One of the problems asks: In the ultraviolet spectrum of atomic hydrogen, a line is observed at 102.6 nm. Determine the values of n for the initial and final energy levels of the electron that leads to this spectral line. How would you solve this if you have two unkowns: n1(initial n level) and n2(f...
